“The format of overview and breakout sessions made virtually every minute of the conference useful and informative.  I was also impressed with not only the high legal caliber of the presenters but also their skill in presenting and teaching the material.”

                                                                Marka Peterson, Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, Washington, DC

“The program catered to all levels of experience—from first year attorneys to those who have practiced for 10 years.  The program can either provide a new benefits attorney with the basic building blocks of benefits law, as it did me, or expand an experienced attorney’s knowledge of the basics.”
